90x - 20

What does the constant term of the expression represent?

The total points Terrence earned

The total number of tasks Terrence completed

The sum of Shelly and Terrence's total points

The difference between Shelly and Terrence's total points

Answer 1

90x - 20
x represents a variable. thus 90x is also a variable. it's 90 times some other number,

20 is the constant. What do you think?

Answer 2

I think it'd be D but i'm not entirely sure

Answer 3

So shelly is 90x
terrence is 90x - 20

I think it'd be D too.

Answer 4

Okay, thank you.
